XO Rest API

This is the JSON-RPC send request and it's is using the same template which I'm using in above postman api call. If I pass all the params of JSON-RPC in
pools/_/actions/create_vm does it support all the payload? Actually I want to create the VM programmatically.

@irtaza9 Have you tried it with the body formatted like this?

{
	"boot": true,
	"memory": 2147483648,
	"name_label": "testingVM" ,
	"template": "f6745939-cc54-fa9c-5169-6f14ba830a6a" ,
	"auto_poweron": true
}

@Danp for now I'm hitting cli for testing. This is the response im getting rn. The error is saying that the template doesn't exists in the pool, right? Also shared json-object is not giving the right response in postman.

@irtaza9 I assume that you are running XO from the sources. Is your VM up-to-date with the latest sources?

Are you sure a template with that UUID exists for the target pool? What does the following command return?

xo-cli --list-objects type=VM-template uuid=f6745939-cc54-fa9c-5169-6f14ba830a6a

@Danp said in XO Rest API:

xo-cli --list-objects type=VM-template uuid=f6745939-cc54-fa9c-5169-6f14ba830a6a

C:\Users\PC>xo-cli --list-objects type=VM-template uuid=f6745939-cc54-fa9c-5169-6f14ba830a6a
`--list-objects` is deprecated and will be removed in the future, use `list-objects` subcommand instead

@Danp template info via rest-api

@Danp said in XO Rest API:

Is your VM up-to-date with the latest sources?

Yes I configured the XO from sources and it's not up to date. Should I update my XO and will it fix the issue or not?

olivierlambert

I strongly suggest to read this part of the doc: https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/community

And especially with this big yellow warning: https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/community#report-a-bug

irtaza9

@olivierlambert Thank you for your time. I've a paid subscription but I am using XO from sources. I've opened a ticket from the help desk

olivierlambert

Great For the version from the sources, it doesn't matter that you have paid support or not: you must use it with latest commits as possible For XOA, then it's up to the support to answer you

irtaza9

@olivierlambert omg I'll upgrade the XO. My question is still same, why the rest-api is not responding properly when I hit it from postman and the same api is responding with error when using xo-cli
